As shown in the figures,a uniform rod $OO^{\prime}$ of length $l$ is hinged at the point $O$ and held in place vertically between two walls using two massless springs of same spring constant $K$. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end $(O^{\prime})$ of the rod,as shown in Fig. $1$,and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is $f_1$. On the other hand,if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod,as shown in Fig. $2$,and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement,then the frequency of oscillation is $f_2$. Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram,the value of $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$
